PERFORMANCE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS IN THE RESOCIALIZATION CENTER OF THE CAPITAL – EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

The present paper presents an experience report developed by medical students in the Comprehensive Health Care Program for the Population Deprived of Liberty and Socio-Educational Internment (PAISPIS), held at the Rehabilitation Center of the Capital. The action aimed to promote health education and offer clinical care to people deprived of liberty, integrating theory and practice in medical training. The intervention was structured in two moments: (1) educational action on Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), addressing syphilis, HIV/AIDS and viral hepatitis, with dialogued exposition, use of visual resources and demonstration of the correct use of condoms; and (2) individual clinical care, with anamnesis, therapeutic adjustments, prescriptions and referrals. The experience highlighted the transformative potential of medical practice in contexts of vulnerability, contributing to the strengthening of skills such as empathy, humanized communication, and clinical reasoning, in addition to expanding the understanding of health inequalities in the prison system. It is concluded that the integration between health education and clinical care is an effective strategy for health promotion and for the training of more sensitive and socially committed professionals.
